NITED STATES PATENT B'ALlNG-PRESS,

SPECIFICA'IION forming part 0f Letters Patent N0. 273,407, dated. March 6, 1883.

Applicaiion filed December 11, 1882. (N0 model.l

T0 all whom i25 may concern Be it known that I, HENRY TYACK, of Grass Valley,county of Nevada, Stute of Oalifornia, haveinventedan Improved Baling-Press; and I hereby declare tl1e following to be a full, clear, und exaot description thereof.

My invention relates to certain new and useiul improvements in presses for baling hay, cotton, W001, rags, hops, hair, &c. These improvements relate to tl1e entire press and all its parts, und include principally the constiu0- tion of the body o1 franne,the follower .and the means for operating it, the cover or lid und the means for adjusting and opening it, the front o1 discharge door und the means for mounting it, the side door, and other details, all of whieh I shall hereinafter fully describe.

'lbe object of my invention is to provide an efi'ective baling-press, und. e'ach of the several improvements whieh I huve runde has in view this general result.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Fignre 1 is a porspectiveview of my device. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal elevation. Fig. 3 is *'g. 4 is a transverse seetion on the line 1 2, Figs. 2, 5, and 6. Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section', showiug oover raised up. Fig. 6 is a, half-plan oftop and a halfplan midway between the top und bottom of the press. Fig. 7 is'n view of the hand-orank.

Lot; A represent the body or franue of the press, mountecl on wheels B for convenience in transportation.

0 represents the follower within the press, heldtherein by means of bars c, seoured to its rear side above und below, and having their ends projecting through elongated slots in the sides of the press, Fig. 1. The ends of these bars are seoured between fianges or jaws a, upon vertical standards 0x Supports D, whioh are themselves mounted oentrally upon horizontal screws Eone 011 eaeh side 0f the press and suitably journaled in b earings 6 thereon. The ends of the standurds are slotted und have mounted in then1 friction-rollers b, whieh travel upon guide rails 01 flanges d, secured t'o the sides of the press above and below.

The serews E extend froxn the rear end ubout two-thirds the distance of the press, which represents the distance which it is intended the l'ollower shall trave]. Revolution is imparied to these screws by means of a large spur-gear,

F, mounted 011 the reanend of the press, und

meshes on each side with pinions e upon the real ends of tl1e screws, Fig. 3; 01 ii3 may be impmted, as I sl1'all explain, by tl1e s1nall pinion F, meshing with one of tho pinions e, 01, again, by one of the pinions e directly.

lt will bo seenthut by means of power applied to the spur-gear the standards D, supporting the follower, am advunoed o1 withdrawn by the revolution of tho sorews, and a direct power is thus applied to the follower, in whicl1 110 force iswasted. The power applied t0 spur-gear F is saorifioed to speed, whioh is necessary in t'he return ot' the follower; but when the small pinion F is used power is increased at the expense of speed. Pinion e gives another variation.- Tho entire top of the press consists of a folding cover, G, oonstruoted and fitted as follows: lt is centmlly divided fransversely, and hinged at fin such nmnnex that it may foldupwardly by raisingits cante1, Fig'. 5. This is a0oomplished by plaeing the hinges 011 the lower edge. Across its rear end is a bar, g, the ends of which are preferably provided With small rollers and fit loosely through elongated slots h, m'ade in the vertioal side of angle strips z, seoured along the edges of tho top of' the press. Tl 1e ends of tl1e bar are rounded and aal: as a hinge, upon whioh the rear end. of the cover iurns when its hinged center is raised.

Across the forward end of the cover is a bar, H, having 011 its ends rollers j, which travel upon the top edges of tho pressjustinsido the angle-strips i, Fig. 5. When the center of the cover is ruise 1 Lhe rear end turns on its bar g and the forward end travels backward, its rollersj rernaining on t-he edges of the p ress. II; thus unoovers the entire top of the press to allow tl1e material to be baled. to be fe(l t-o it, Fig. 5. y When released tl1e cover returns to its position of its ow-n weight, its rollersj tru'velig forward 011 tl1e press. I shall now desoribe l3ll means for raising in and the means for automatioally barring in to rosist the strain when tl1e followeris operating.

'll1e rear end of'the press is extended up to form a frame, I, across whicl1 is mounted u drmn, J, und in a fmme, k, just un ler is mounted a grooved-f-uoe pulley, K, amty ing a, small pinion, l, Fig. 5. With this pinion en- IOO 4.) By moving the lever X the shaft W is rocked, its ca.ms V raised under the rear ends 0t' the swinging diseharging-arms U, andthe ba1e forced oui: through the high front opening of the press. This freut faee 0t' the press I strengthen by metai straps Y, seeured under the edge and extending up eaeh side of the door-frame nearl-y t0 the top, Fig. l. These metal sorlps form streng bearings for the tiebolts R, the hinge q, andlateh p.

T0 strengthen the frame A beside the powerscrews, and steady the bearings ein which they werk, 1 haveiongitndinal boltsZone 011 each sideextendingabout the samedistanee as the serews, Figs. l and 2.

T0 impari; power t0 the gearing I haVe a hand-crank, P, the advantageof whieh lies in its ready adjustment not only t0 the mein gear F, but also t0 the pinions e und. F When any one 0f them may be required to transmit power from its sonrce. 'Ihis erank is perforated at its end, and has a. cireular flange 0r eollar, 00, in the sides of which are made T-shaped slots y, formed by two euts at righi; angles, es shown in Fig. 7. The shaftzof the spur-gear projeets und has a cross pin 0r bar, z; The pinion F has a similar shaft and cross-pin, 311d one 0f the pinions e is likewise provided. When the crank is fltted 011 the shaft 0f any of these gears the pin z passes int0 the slots y and is secured. The peeuliar eonstruction ot' the erank P, whereby it may be adjusted readiiy to any of a series of power devices,

. gives me an opportnnity 0f suiting the work to the neeessity. The cra.nk may be easily removed, and is theret'ore speeia.lly adapted to he fitted to whatever gear necessity ma.y require. When the followeris being forced. forward,iftheiarge gearFdoesnotfurnish enough power,the crank is re1noVed from it and piaeed either on one 0f the pinions e 0r on the small pinion F, and the power greatly increased;

hat when the follower is return ing speed is required, and the crank is then fitted 170 the large gear F.
